Rebel Pilot Training

Elite Pilot Talents

XP Cost = Squad Point Cost x 2

When you reach Pilot Skill 3, your ship gains an Elite Pilot Talent slot. They are generally better than other upgrades, and you are less likely to lose Elite Pilot Talents when suffering Eject penalties. When rolling for ejection, EPT's count as their actual value rather than what was paid for them.

EPT's follow the same Supply Line rules that upgrades and modifications do.

Increase Pilot Skill

XP Cost = Pilot Skill x 2

Each increase in pilot skill comes with an additional benefit: You gain an additional Elite Pilot Talent icon at Pilot Skill levels 3,5,7, and 9, and an additional ship modification icon at Pilot Skill 4, 6, and 8. Note that Veteran Instincts does not increase your Pilot Skill for this purpose or when calculating the difficulty for a mission.

Increases to Pilot skill are non-refundable once a mission is flown at the new pilot skill.

Rebel Pilot Abilities

XP Cost = Pilot Skill of Original Owner

The pilot abilities of existing Rebel pilots may be purchased and equipped as if they were Elite Pilot Talents. However, most of them cannot be purchased until your pilot is very experienced. Rebel Pilot Abilities changes are marked in red. Your pilot skill must be greater than or equal to the Pilot Skill of the Rebel Pilot whose ability you wish to purchase. The cost is equal to the PS column in the table below.

Pilot Ability Retraining – NEW!

XP Cost = half the original pilot ability cost (rounded down)

Pilot abilities require the pilot to commit time and energy to learning the skill. To represent this dedication, if a pilot wants to remove an ability, he must pay the XP cost equal to half the original cost of the ability.

Example: A PS 5 pilot purchases Chewbacca's ability for 5 XP. In order to retrain this, he must pay 2 XP (5/2 = 2.5, rounded down = 2). He now has the EPT slot free to purchase an EPT or pilot ability.
